PIET RETIEF

Piet Retief is situated south in the Mpumalanga region, halfway between the Kruger Park and Zululand. The town is known for its timber industry and was named after Piet Retief in 1833. The town has an eventful history behind it. The descendants of the Voortrekkers were the actual founders, but settlers from other nations - including many Germans and Scots - also soon found their way here. Today, the town blends tradition and modernity.

Welcome to the Dusk To Dawn Guesthouse, which is situated on a 1800ha working farm. Here you can relax by the solar-heated pool after your long drive and enjoy nature. In addition to the garden and pool, the accommodation also offers guided farm tours (at an extra charge), a store with local handicrafts and farm products, a petting zoo for children and three different shelters for bird watching. The eight detached cottages have a bathroom/WC, air conditioning, a lounge area, a small kitchenette and a veranda. The executive suites are more spacious and furnished to a higher standard.

LADYSMITH

Close to Ladysmith is the approximately 9000ha malaria-free Nambiti Game Reserve, still an insider tip in South Africa. The private game reserve is home to the Big Five and many other African wild animals such as zebras, giraffes, antelopes and cheetahs. The varied landscape consists of vast savannahs, dense bushland and green valleys, crossed by the Sundays River. In contrast to state-run national parks, only overnight guests have access to the private reserves. These are therefore much better suited to a short stay for unique wildlife sightings. The small lodges also offer a very personal atmosphere. Specially trained rangers ensure a first-class nature experience.

You will spend the night at the family-friendly Ndaka Safari Lodge, which is surrounded by an electric fence for safety. Children of all ages are allowed to participate in the game drives, but the guides reserve the right to drive alternative routes in the reserve with very young children. The lodge offers a restaurant, a bar, a boma (traditional campfire dining area), a pool and an indoor and outdoor playground for children. The free-standing tented suites have a double bed and two to three single beds, a shower/WC, a fan, heating, a tea/coffee maker, an outdoor deck with an additional outdoor shower and free Wi-Fi.

For each overnight stay you take part in two guided game drives in an open off-road vehicle (English-speaking, participation with other people), which take place in the afternoon before dinner and in the morning before breakfast.
